Highlight of the Week: Updated DragonOS Image Available for Testing

An updated version of DragonOS is available for download here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1X-NAxJFIN9XNheomV-69aHwJTWQK9t2U. On Linux, you can verify the integrity of the file with the command sha256sum DragonOS_FocalX_R36_test3.iso or md5sum DragonOS_FocalX_R36_test3.iso from the same directory as the download. If you are on Windows, you can use the command prompt to check the SHA256 or MD5 hash with certutil -hashfile DragonOS_FocalX_R36_test3.iso SHA256 or certutil -hashfile DragonOS_FocalX_R36_test3.iso MD5. The table below is a summary of the updates to the new image.

Lastly, a recent change that is not included in the ISO was the addition of https://github.com/deeptho/neumodvb which is a DVB Settop box and dx-program for Linux. If you would like this capability in your release of DragonOS, the build instructions are here: https://github.com/alphafox02/neumodvb.

It is important to note that this ISO is still based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Despite the release of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS this past April, 22.04 will be supported until April 2027. Ubuntu 24.04 LTS will be supported until 2029, so it does not make sense to upgrade just yet. You can read more about Ubuntu’s release cycle here: https://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle. It is possible the next base image upgrade will not take place until Ubuntu 26.04 to avoid the need to refactor upgrades and migrations of software between LTS versions every two years.

If you notice any strange behavior or something doesn’t work with the new ISO, send a message to @cemaxecuter on X https://x.com/cemaxecuter or email him at cemaxecuter@protonmail.com. You’ll get a shoutout for your help and improve the next release of DragonOS
